Chapter 1687 Departure
"you?"
"Sister Yu, are you also an alchemist?"
Elder Li and Xiao Yue both looked at the clone with shock and curiosity.
The clone touched her nose, feeling guilty and unsure how to reply. Thanks to the original body, she did know a little bit, but only a tiny bit.
I can only offer some pointers from the sidelines at crucial moments.
It's absolutely impossible for her to do it herself.
"I know a little," the clone answered truthfully.
Elder Li's lips twitched.
If you only know a little bit, you won't be able to make a move at a crucial moment.
However, he didn't say these words aloud, lest he upset Yue'er again, which would make it difficult for him to appease her!
"In that case, just to be on the safe side, let's call that person over," Elder Li said after much deliberation.
"Who is it?" Xiaoyue stared at Elder Li. "Grandpa Li, the person you're looking for isn't the one you've mentioned countless times, the one whose alchemy skills surpass yours, is he?"
At this point, a hint of anger flashed across Xiaoyue's face.
"Yes." Elder Li wanted to explain something.
Xiaoyue angrily said, "You never intended to help Sister Yu with this favor, fine, but don't agree. Find another excuse to refuse, okay?"
"I didn't make any excuses." Elder Li coaxed Xiaoyue in a tone that was meant to soothe a child: "Yue'er, when has Grandpa Li ever lied to you?"
"Grandpa Li, your alchemy skills are universally acknowledged as the best on the Beast Taming Continent. How could anyone be better than you? You're just making up a non-existent person because you don't want to help Sister Yu, aren't you?"
Xiaoyue's explanation was very logical and reasonable.
"No, it's not true." Elder Li was exhausted. "How about this, I'll take you two little girls to see him in person, and then you'll understand."
"Really?" Xiaoyue looked at Elder Li suspiciously.
She still felt that Elder Li was making excuses.
"Of course it's true, my little darling!" Elder Li finally managed to appease Xiaoyue and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It’s not easy!
"Tomorrow, it's too late today. He prefers quiet at night, it wouldn't be good to disturb him at this time."
The three agreed on a departure time, and then Xiaoyue chatted with her clone for a few more minutes before they all went their separate ways.
The next day.
early morning.
Her clone spent the night studying alchemy, but no matter how she refined it, the pills she produced were always only of the low-grade immortal level.
It was as if there was an invisible barrier preventing her from advancing to a higher rank.
She clearly knew all of Mingming's usual alchemy techniques, including various pill formulas, by heart.
why?
"Sister Yu, are you up yet?" Xiaoyue's cheerful voice came from outside the door.
The clone snapped out of its daze, opened the door, and went out, saying, "Get up."
Elder Li was already waiting at the courtyard gate.
"That person's residence is some distance from the city lord's mansion, but not too far, so there's no need for a teleportation array."
Elder Li went to rent a flying soul beast early in the morning.
The clone noticed that the soul beast was wearing a collar-like magical artifact around its neck.
It must be some kind of control method.
The three of them stepped onto the backs of the flying spirit beasts one by one. "Takeoff!"
When they reached a high altitude, Xiaoyue shouted loudly.
She enjoys the feeling of flying, but not flying herself. Flying alone is just exhausting.
"It's a pity I already have a soul beast, otherwise I really wanted to contract a flying soul beast," Xiaoyue said, expressing her regret.
